I'm not that huge on sports for the most part. Playing them is one thing, but watching is just boring.

But, the only sport I've ever seen where I can see an insane amount of skill, precision, team work, and overall technique, is Football (soccer). It's a game where the entire team matters, unlike basketball, where you have one or two people that are insanely good and just score like crazy. You can't do that in Football: You'll get massacred.

It's probably the best structured sport.

Football (football) is also a great team sport...you have to block for the other player it requires speed and skill......IF you have ever played for a team you would know....but u guys just watch that damn TV and think you know what you are talking about.....

Sure does, its like "look at my purdy little dance when I scored da goal" <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

American football is a pussy sport full of show boating pansies. The only armour you wear here in Australian football is a mouth guard. I hate all meat head sports like football, but if I had a choice between the two it'd be the Australian game I'd watch.

Oh and rugby isn't a Russian sport, its actually British, and a hell of a lot of countries play it. They don't play it in the US because there isn't any armor involved to protect their pansy asses.

Basketball = netball: As played by schoolgirls the world over.

baseball = rounders: See basketball

Ice hockey = the only exception.


If you do some research you will find that netball was based on basketball as the man who invented it was asked by the Boston YMCA to invent a female version.

Baseball and Ice Hockey both rule.

Yea keep dreaming, they would probably equal you do have to run in rugby, it's just that rugby players are built more than football players people seem to think their CV system sucks which is wrong.

Lol, I love sport rage, particularly fueling the fire .

If you want to see a psycho sport go see the Korean and Chinese badminton teams go at it next Olympics. Man they move like lightning. Also they have their own cheer groups in the crowd, who have these fan type things that they move really fast to make this wierd sound, its crazy. At least it was at the Sydney Olympics .

I have a better question. Are sports crap? (every country included). In short, yes.

I played ice hockey for 10 years.
I played baseball for 11 years.

What do I have to show for it? Some 1st place hardware, a bad shoulder, and s**tty knees. Sports are about as usefull as jogging. They are both bad on your body.

I agree Hockey and Lacrosse are the only sports worthy to exist. Soccer should be banned from the planet. If your caught playing soccer and your a dude you should have your testicles chopped off on a first offense and on a second offense your penis. then the 3rd your dead. if your a girl you should have your ovaries ripped out on a first offense. and on a second you have your vagina sewed up (no anestetics, pure pain and agony). 3rd offense is death

I would go on a serious rant about how much soccer is gay. but im to lazy.


You just insulted all of england, scotland & wales. gratz

Wow Supercobra, talk about being judgemental! What about people with disabilities that stop them from doing sports? Are they loner nerds with no life? I have friends that do no sports whatsoever, but they are still in reasonable shape and are nice people. About 90% of the girls I know do no sports, but by doing things like walking or going to the gym its perfectly possible to stay in shape. The sports I do aren't the sort you can just jump out and do whenever (snowboarding and ice skating), so often I go a long time without doing any, but I'm far from lacking a life or friends. Doing sport and being a nerd aren't mutually exclusive either; its perfectly possible to be both, or neither.

How many Americans cared when the season was delayed?

*raises hand
I cared a whole lot when the NHL was on strike (granted not many other people do), Ive always been a hockey fan, I try nd get saeson tickets to the San Jose Sharks (no comment about not winning :P), and I've playe full contact hockey for 3 years, and I must say its still Heck-a-fun to play. There is no other sport that is hard hitting as hockey is, and I dont care what anyone else says, getting knocked down onto the hard ice by someone moving 30 miles an hour is gonna hurt.

i also was sad <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">. The NHL ruled. Yet for some reason they made like an NHL 2006 (or 05, cant remember the years here) but yet there was no NHL
